Sen. John Cornyn warned President Obama on Sunday to not even consider interpreting the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment to bypass Congress and raise the debt limit without its approval.

"That's crazy talk. It's not acceptable for Congress and the president not to do their job and to say somehow the president has the authority then to basically do this by himself," Cornyn, R-Texas, a former judge on the Texas Supreme Court, told "Fox News Sunday."

Fuck YES he will! If for some odd reason he doesn't, you can be sure he will teleprompt a message to America, the land he pretends to represent, that the Republicans prevented it and therefore all will be doomed. The guy will find a way to corrupt the process and "thy will be done."
